Casual Day is next month and we are working steadily to prepare everything for you. We have almost all of the items we need on hand and will try to get the packets out soon.

Thank you in advance for helping us serve people who need us and do not have other resources. And yes, we are helping the gentleman on the front page of the Tennessean! Because of that article, we have people who are calling to donate more medical equipment! A backward kind of blessing!

Our wonderful sponsors have stepped up to the plate to help make this Casual Day a good one for you and your employees:

Casual Day (or Casual Friday) has become such an accepted part of the business landscape that few people remember where it came from. Believe it or not, United Cerebral Palsy developed the original Casual Day in the early 90’s! In Middle Tennessee, we have celebrated UCP Casual Day since 1992. At the eightteen year mark, Casual Day has netted over half a million dollars to UCP throughout the years. 100% of these dollars have been used to provide direct services to persons with all types of disabilities in our community.

Margaret Eighmy, Margaret_Eighmy@ucpnashville.org, oversees the UCP Durable Medical Equipment Exchange. UCP collects, refurbishes and recycles durable medical, therapeutic and adaptive equipment. UCP does its best to match the needs of people with the availability of equipment. Because so many people had to leave their equipment behind to escape the Tennessee flood waters, there is an unusually high demand. Equipment is available for individuals and non-profit/charitable organizations.
